Let's divide 989584 by 56
Let's see how many times 56 fits into 989584.

Let's proceed to step 1:
56 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 56

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 98 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 429 / 56

On to step 3:
56 can be fit into 429 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 392 from 429 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 375 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
375 divided by 56 is 6 with a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 336 from 375 to get 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
398 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1767.0
If we take 392 away from 398, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 56

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17671.0
Deduct 56 from 64 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17671.1
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17671.14
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17671.142
Subtracting 112 from 160 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17671.1428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17671.14285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17671.142857
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17671.1428571
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
56 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17671.14285714
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17671.14285714, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
